Summary:

The Greek "polis" has been arousing interest as a subject for study for a long time, but recent approaches have shown that it is a subject on which there are still important questions to be asked and worthwhile issues to be explored. This book contains a selection of essays which embody the results of the latest research. Beyond the historical development of the Greek "polis," the contributors ask questions about the civic institutions of ancient Greece as a whole and their relationships to each other. Questions of power or the significance of a written code of law are discussed as well as the nature of Greek overseas settlements. "Development of the Greek Polis" presents up-to-date research and asks up-to-date questions on various aspects of an important topic.
